In This Lonely City

He′s into poetry again
He hides his smile once more
Gazes at the sable parts of the room
And wears his black shirt again

He's in a state of dreary
Plunged into desolation
He stares at the picture of memory
And puts his thoughts running again

Feeling the sadness of solitude
In this lonely city
In this lonely city

He is looking for something
He wonders and lies on his bed
Works hard to deceive his sentiments
But the tick-tocks keep increasing

Feeling the sadness of solitude
In this lonely city
In this lonely city

Feeling the sadness of solitude
In this lonely city
In this lonely city
